Precast, Crystalline, Concrete Waterproofing, Waterproof Concrete, Bentonite, Bituthene, Positive Side Waterproofing, Negative Side Waterproofing, Below Grade, Red Oxide Pigment, Precast

All variations of the Admix C-Series contain the same amount of reactive chemicals at their prescribed dosage rates and provide the same waterproofing and durability performance characteristics.

Xypex Admix is blended into the concrete mix at the time of batching to waterproof and protect concrete from the start. It outperforms other methods because of its unique ability to become a truly integral part of the concrete matrix. The Admix C-Series has been specially formulated to meet varying project and temperature conditions.

Admix C-500 Red has been specially formulated to have minimal or no effect on setting time and to provide precast concrete producers the unique Xypex crystalline waterproofing and protection, as well as a red oxide pigment to clearly identify concrete treated with the Xypex Admix.

Refer to the relevant sections of this data sheet or consult with Xypex's Technical Services Department for assistance in determining the appropriate dosage rate and for further information regarding enhanced chemical resistance, optimum concrete performance (e.g. setting time, compressive strength), or meeting the specific requirements and conditions of your project.

For ease of use, Xypex Admix C-500 Red is packaged in 20 lb. (9.1 kg) pails and 37 lb. (16.8 kg) paper bags. For specific projects, contact the Xypex for availability of custom sized packaging.
